    ©Ges. zur Förderung d. Erforschung von Insektenwanderungen e.V. München, download unter www.zobodat.at _________ Atalanta (August 1997) 28 (1/2):43-47, Würzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 _________ A contribution to the knowledge of the Papilionidae of Rhodes Island (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) by G iovanni Sa l a & M a u r iz io Bo llin o received 6.IV. 1996 Introduction In the present work the authors report considerations about distribution, ecology, and syste- matics of the Papilionidae of Rhodes Island, based on direct observations during a spring field-trip (10.-17.IV. 1994) and on works of many authors (Fruhstorfer , Rebel , Turati , Seyer , Weiss , Koçak, Olivier ). Following investigations done on Kriti Papilionidae, the first author visited all the known sites adding some new biotopes; the first intent was searching for the food plants, the preimaginal instars, the places of flight with the feeding plants of adults. The first author, with the cooper­ ation of three collegues, travelled the island for more than 880 km, visiting almost all localities cited by Olivier and trying to look for new biotopes in the southern part of Rhodes; the climatic situation was in syntony with the annual trend although a disturbance in the first days of April has delayed the emergence of populations of All. cerisy at higher altitudes in the center of the island, while those at sea level have already vanished; in the intermediate area the flight period was at its peak; generally the butterflies were scarce, only All. cerisy and Manióla telmessia were found in some numbers. We didn’t find any Archon apollinus despite the search along the whole of Rhodes; we presume that the flight period had already ended for quite a time because, at least, some worn specimens should have been found; if apollinus is present on Rhodes island, it is surely very local and rare.

  • Body-Size Effect on Egg Size in Eublepharid Geckos (Squamata

KRATOCHVÍL and D. FRYNTA Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2006, 88, 527–532. With 2 figures Body-size effect on egg size in eublepharid geckos (Squamata: Eublepharidae), lizards with invariant clutch size: negative allometry for egg size in ectotherms is not universal LUKÁT KRATOCHVÍL1* and DANIEL FRYNTA2 1Department of Ecology, Charles University, Vinidná 7, CZ-128 44 Praha 2, the Czech Republic 2Department of Zoology, Charles University, Vinidná 7, CZ-128 44 Praha 2, the Czech Republic Received 1 February 2005; accepted for publication 5 December 2005 Within a single clutch, smaller species of ectotherms generally lay a smaller number of relatively larger eggs than do larger species. Many hypotheses explaining both the interspecific negative allometry in egg size and egg size– number trade-off postulate the existence of an upper limit to the egg size of larger species. Specifically, in lizards, large eggs of large species could have too long a duration of incubation, or they could be too large to pass through the pelvic opening, which is presumably constrained mechanically in larger species. Alternatively, negative allometry could be a result of limits affecting eggs of smaller species. Under the latter concept, hatchling size in smaller species may be close to the lower limit imposed by ecological interactions or physiological processes, and therefore smaller species have to invest in relatively larger offspring. Contrary to these lower limit hypotheses, explanations based on the existence of an upper limit always predict negative egg-size allometry even in animals with invariant clutch size, in which naturally there is no egg size–number trade-off.

  • Butterflies & Flowers of the Kackars
    Butterflies and Botany of the Kackars in Turkey Greenwings holiday report 14-22 July 2018 Led by Martin Warren, Yiannis Christofides and Yasemin Konuralp White-bordered Grayling © Alan Woodward Greenwings Wildlife Holidays Tel: 01473 254658 Web: www.greenwings.co.uk Email: [email protected] ©Greenwings 2018 Introduction This was the second year of a tour to see the wonderful array of butterflies and plants in the Kaçkar mountains of north-east Turkey. These rugged mountains rise steeply from Turkey’s Black Sea coast and are an extension of the Caucasus mountains which are considered by the World Wide Fund for Nature to be a global biodiversity hotspot. The Kaçkars are thought to be the richest area for butterflies in this range, a hotspot in a hotspot with over 160 resident species. The valley of the River Çoruh lies at the heart of the Kaçkar and the centre of the trip explored its upper reaches at altitudes of 1,300—2,300m. The area consists of steep-sided valleys with dry Mediterranean vegetation, typically with dense woodland and trees in the valley bottoms interspersed with small hay-meadows. In the upper reaches these merge into alpine meadows with wet flushes and few trees. The highest mountain in the range is Kaçkar Dağı with an elevation of 3,937 metres The tour was centred around the two charming little villages of Barhal and Olgunlar, the latter being at the fur- thest end of the valley that you can reach by car. The area is very remote and only accessed by a narrow road that winds its way up the valley providing extraordinary views that change with every turn.

  • Studies on North American Philotes (Lycaenidae) Ii
    BULLETIN OF THE ALLYN MUSEUM Published by THE ALLYN MUSEUM OF ENTOMOLOGY Sarasota, Florida Number 15 31 December 1973 STUDIES ON NORTH AMERICAN PHILOTES (LYCAENIDAE) II. The biology, distribution, and taxonomy of Philotes sonorensis (F. & F.) Oakley Shields Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, Calif. 95616 TAXONOMY As I presently conceive it here, the Nearctic genus Philotes Scudder in­ cludes five basic species distinguishable on a genital valve features: sonorensis (F. & F.), speciosa (H. Edw.), battoides (Behr), rita (B. & McD.), and enoptes (Bdv.). Various authors (see, e.g., the "question" to Forbes, 1948) have noted the difficulty in keeping these species all within the same genus. In a future paper I will give in detail the reasons for making several generic reassignments within the genus, based on comparative morphology, zoogeography, and foodplant relation­ ships. Mattoni (1954) proposed that sonorensis is not cogeneric with the rest of the genus and tentatively assigned the Palearctic genus Turanana Bethune­ Baker to speciosa, battoides, [rita]and enoptes. Since sonorensis is the type species of the genus Philotes (see Hemming, 1967), it would retain the genus name. Beuret (1959) maintains that Turanana cytis Christ, approaches sonorensis in having well­ developed black spots on the upperside of the primaries and similar a genitalia but considered these similarities not enough to combine them into a single genus. In the event that T. cytis and P. sonorensis should become united into the same genus upon further study, the older genus name is Philotes. T. cytis flies in Iran, Turkestan, and Pamirs (Seitz, 1909: 305). It should be mentioned that the South African Leptomyrina lara (L.) (see Clark & Dickson, 1957) somewhat resembles sonorensis in undersurface color and pattern and feeds on Crassulaceae species (e.

  • Grazing Effects on Day Butter Ies in a Mediterranean Woodland Ecosystem in Northern Israel
    Grazing Effects on Day Butteries in a Mediterranean Woodland Ecosystem in Northern Israel Gad Ish Am ( [email protected] ) The Israeli Lepidopterists Society https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0932-3186 Talia Oron Israel Nature and Parks Authority Research article Keywords: Mediterranean woodland, biodiversity conservation, day-butteries, cattle grazing, monophagous species, endangered species Posted Date: November 3rd, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-99467/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/26 Abstract The effects of cattle grazing on biodiversity in Mediterranean woodlands are yet unknown. To assess these effects on diurnal butteries, we conducted daytime surveys in the Mt. Meron nature reserve (northern Israel) in two habitats over two different years. In each habitat we chose one site that was grazed by cattle and, as a control, a similar but ungrazed site. Belt transects (5m wide), divided for 100m replications, were surveyed ve times on ridges in 2015 (11 replications, 538 butteries, 25 species), and nine times in valleys in 2016 (12 replications, 3,944 butteries, 38 species). In both habitats, species similarity index between sites was high. Richness was higher in the ridge control and evenness was higher in the valley grazed site. In both habitats total abundance was ca. twofold higher in the control, and the abundance of woody aliated butteries was threefold higher in the control, probably due to overgrazing, which affects butteries’ breeding niches. For batha polyphagous and oligophagous buttery species, abundance was similar between the sites, and for a few of those, associated with increaser plants, it was even higher in the grazed sites.
